Cardi B Returns to the Gym Post-Birth, Playfully Calls Herself Old

Congratulations are in order for Cardi B and Stefon Diggs. The rapper and NFL player welcomed their first baby together — a boy — in November 2025. Leading up to Cardi’s fourth baby, she promised fans that as soon as she gave birth, she’d be getting back into shape for her upcoming “Little Miss Drama” tour. Now, she’s back in the gym for the first time post-birth. Here’s what she posted to her Instagram Stories.

Cardi B is hitting the gym after giving birth to her 4th baby to prep for her ‘Little Miss Drama’ tour

Cardi B meant it when she said she plans to get back into tour shape before her “Little Miss Drama” tour begins in February 2026. She gave birth to her fourth baby (and first child with boyfriend Stefon Diggs) in November 2025. Just over a week later, she got back in the gym. Cardi posted a clip to her Instagram Stories showing herself on the stair stepper.

“So, first day back at the gym, Nov. 13,” she says in the clip while in the gym. “I did, so far, 23 minutes on the StairMaster. … But, I want to do an hour on the StairMaster. But I feel like I’m strong enough to do some squats. So, I’m gonna do some squats. F*** it. Let’s go.”

The caption on the story gives additional context.

“Tour journey with me?” she captioned the post. “I haven’t start[ed] rehearsals yet but I’m doing light workouts to not only get my body back in shape but my joints and bones … I’m 33 honey I’m a ol’ lady.”

Before giving birth, Cardi spoke to Jennifer Hudson about how she was prepping for her upcoming tour. “I’m already preparing for it,” she noted. “I’m already preparing for it — I’m at the gym, and I’m taking dancing classes already.”

We’re excited to keep up with Cardi’s progress as her tour dates approach.
